"When You Come Home"
My first day of recess
They all laughed at me
When I fell off the swing set
And scraped up my knee
The nurse called my Momma
To say I d be late,
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
"I m so sorry, son.
Oh I think you re so brave"
And she was smiling when she said:
When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It s where you are loved,
It s where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home
I waved good-bye through the window
As I boarded the plane
My first job in Houston
Was waiting for me
I found a letter from Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote:
I ll miss you, son,
You ll be so far away
And I ll be waiting for the day
When you come ho
